Learning outcomes
Master of Energy Engineering Technology (English)
  •  EC 

    • EC5 - The holder of the degree has specialist knowledge of and insight in principles and applications within the domain of energy and power systems in which he/she can independently identify and critically analyse unfamiliar, complex design or optimisation problems, and methodologically create solutions with eye for data processing and implementation, with the help of advanced tools, aware of practical constraints and with attention to the recent technological developments.

     
  •  DC 

    • DC-M1 - The student has knowledge of the basic concepts, structures and coherence.

      
  •  BC 
    		• The student has knowledge about the different topics addressed in the OPO content.
